A new music teacher arrives at a big-city high school. The enthusiastic educator has no idea what he's signed up for. A group of students sees adult society as the enemy, considers learning a chore, and refuses to comply, all while exploiting legal loopholes and intimidating their peers to make as much money as possible, primarily through drug dealing. The new teacher, however, takes his job seriously and aims to stop the gang. But they are ruthless, believing the future is theirs and they have nothing to fear. The initial conflict gradually escalates into a true, merciless war... A frightening vision of the future and a grim snapshot of the crisis-ridden 1980s. Sometimes humorous, at times rough, vulgar, and bloody – just like life itself. The movie features several characteristic, brilliantly written characters of the era. This is precisely why it became a minor cult classic, despite its very modest budget. The director and actors took their work seriously and were not lacking in talent, resulting in a remarkable, if not flawless, film. Its message remains valid for both young people and adults today: we are responsible for our actions, and the kind of world we live in depends on us.
